PathfinderEss Posted September 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2014 diet Sprite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geocruiser Posted September 21, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I wish there were more diet sodas on board too. For me, it is what I like. I don't drink any liquor, beer or wine. Therefore, I miss it when I sail. I wish I could order what I like of the coke products before I cruise. I don't carry it on board and I don't mind paying for it. I just want:) to drink it!!

RuthC Posted September 21, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I wish I could order what I like of the coke products before I cruise. Have you tried asking your TA to put in a request lately? I have heard of such requests being taken in the past. I don't know if HAL still does it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if HAL still does it, though. That is a great idea. What I have been doing is buying bottle water on board and putting in Crystal light. Then keeping it cold in my cabin. By buying the ships bottle water I can make a large bottle of it, and just shake it until it is mixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberta Quilter Posted September 21, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 21, 2014 diet Sprite. Yes, I can confirm that I got diet sprite on the Amsterdam in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted September 22, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yes, I can confirm that I got diet sprite on the Amsterdam in May. I'm sure I've seen diet sprite on every HAL cruise in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geocruiser Posted September 22, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I do buy the diet sprit when on board. But not many because it is not my favorite soda. I do drink the crystal lite and ship's bottle water in my cabin. But I would like more kinds of diet soda to enjoy around the ship's bars and clubs, besides in the dinning room.

What other diet soda flavors does Coke make? HAL serves Coke products so any other choices would likely have to be part of Coke's flavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serendipity1499 Posted September 22, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 22, 2014 All Coke products, nothing more than colas. Coke has hundreds of products not just colas.. Some products are not sold in the U.S. Sprite is sold in the U.S. but Fanta is not.. Fanta, is a fruity drink.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Coca-Cola_brands Fanta is a global brand of fruit-flavored carbonated soft drinks created by The Coca-Cola Company. There are over 100 flavors worldwide. The drink originated in Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that happen for w while with diet Dr. Pepper caffeine free. For a while I could only get it in Fl.

take us away Posted September 22, 2014 #22 Share Posted September 22, 2014 We also drink diet soda and after a while diet Coke and diet Sprite get old. Do wish they had diet Fanta if Coke even makes that. Have seen Fanta in FL but never noticed diet. Regional soda is weird as we cannot get diet Squirt (but we can get regular Squirt) in FL or the 3 surrounding states. So I moved on to Fresca... We do drink a lot of club soda on a ship - and add the single packets of Crystal Light as someone mentioned they add these to water. We like the fizz the club soda gives the lemonade. Word of warning - do NOT put the packet into the can or you will have Vesuvius. It was pretty but the steward just laughed with us as we had to clean it up off the bar.

It may not be on every ship every cruise but you have a good chance of seeing it. :) Edited September 22, 2014 by sail7seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish all paint rollers worked as fast as that one!! Every time I look at it, I think of my winter home. This winter I must do a little painting. Or may I just might get some help with it.
